      March 13, 2020 at 12:01 am HI Wayne They dont have to be.. but I think its recommended as they hold tight and are generally well made – I have used them where I want to make sure they hold and i use them in pairs, generally. Make sure you get the 316 Stainless ones! Oh just checked and hosemart dont carry them (was asking about some other hose) EPE in Bibra lake or online then.. Steve
